A great look at coffee house culture at the time is in Tom Standage's A History of the World In 6 Glasses. At this time, coffee houses were the place to be.

There is a great book "A History of the World in 6 Glasses" that talks about how coffee and other drinks were discovered and spread around the world. Fascinating to read.
